Good morning,
Curious if anyone has any recommendations on a replacement (rigid) handle for older Ric cases? I'm having a hard time trying to locate one to fit with the horizontal mounts.
Thank you,
Chris
Case Handle Recs?

Re: Case Handle Recs?
This place was recommended a few times over the years by Joh Hall when others were on a similar quest as you. Hopefully, you will find what you need.
I have the original black Tolex case with the form fit interior from my March '73 4001 that had a cheap replacement handle on it that was barely functional as the leather ends were all dried and cracked. It broke while I was packing it up in a shipping box, so I got 1" nylon webbing and cinch buckles to create a very strong, if not elegant, handle so serve the case. I am going to put it up for sale as I no longer need it and I know folks look for the form fit one for their old 4001s.
